Jackie Stewart in the back of either an XJ of some kind or a Granada. It was a long time ago and he used to be a Ford ambassador IIRC.

He’s Nottingham born, his Mum still lives there. He owns a large property portfolio in the area too. Not sure if he’s living local again. Talking of well known people who are Nottingham born and bred still living in the area:

Cricketer Stuart Broad (house for sale, not sure if staying in area) - Range Rover.
Actress Vicky McClure I once saw in a Jaguar XF.
Boxer Carl Froch - Ferrari Portofino and Mercedes G-Class.
Kenneth Clarke, former MP including Chancellor - Audi A3 and an Audi R8.
Chef Sat Bains (originally a Derby lad) - Range Rover Sport SVR.

Ken Clarke in an R8? He strikes me as more of an A8 kind of guy. Not a bad two car garage though, covers all the bases.

Saw that creep Saville in an open Rolls in York, just going beyond the station and on towards Clifford’s tower and the city. In the 70s, just thought he was an eccentric ‘celeb’. He lived in a penthouse flat by Roundhay Park in Leeds ,posh new development where my aunt lived, no one suspected at that time....

Taking a mate for a spin in a Alfa GTV in 1999/2000 when a Honda S2000 comes flying past. I gave chase but was promptly out driven at each roundabout, we were in Milton Keynes.

We both pull in to a petrol station, the other driver was Vicki Butler-Henderson. She smiled but she could have been laughing at my inability to keep up.

I remember that car. She did some promo vids for the company I was working for around that time, and turned up in the S2000.
